It's another politicians tinkering aimlessly (and destructively) day!

It's so frustrating being a #Georgist #SingleTax advocate on a budget day. You just want to scream "stupid people" at all o them! #abolishtaxes #sharetherents #superchargetheeconomy #valueourplanet #makepovertyhistory

As long as you tax it, work won't pay anything like as well as rent seeking #abolishtaxes #sharetherents #superchargetheeconomy #makepovertyhistory #valueourplanet #makeworkpay. Our so called "leaders" are either complicit or numbskulls!

The #singletax of #henrygeorge will liberate us! Don't tax more, Rachel! Tax smarter, Keir! @libdems.org.uk

#abolishtaxes on production, work and trade entirely. #sharetherents of land, locations and monopolies.

#abolishtaxes that penalise labour, production and trade
#sharetherents collect instead all the economic rents of land and nature we don't individually create or are entitled to.

I've often found @matthewsyed's opinions interesting, but hadn't made this connection before - fullsome praise for a #LandValueTax switch and unlike many he clearly understands it: https://www.thetimes.com/comment/columnists/article/get-ready-keir-starmer-economy-poorer-poland-labour-jc06db9kt

Of course the "system is broken" - it's a feature not a bug of the way things have worked for more or less as long as there have been governments. Here's how to fix it - as explained 150 years ago:

Not nationalise. Markets are important to help determine where and how much housing there needs to be. Politicians have failed in this for decades. But once you take the land value out, and we stop paying both land rent *and* taxes on our labour, it becomes so much easier and solves a whole load more economic issues than merely the housing situation.

Angered by royal rentierism? Take the plank out of your own eyes too: “As soon as the land of any country has all become private property, the landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed and demand a rent even for its natural produce.” (Adam Smith).

That means every last one of you who owns any land expecting it to make you any kind of a profit.

Not a scintilla of imagination @RachelReevesMP as to how to fix the broken system, rather than just poking around in its dying embers to see if you can make it work again? #abolishtaxes #sharetherents #superchargetheeconomy #makepovertyhistory #valueourplanet #henrygeorge

When will we get a Chancellor, a government, who dares, aspires, to fix the broken system, rather than just pick and poke around in its dying embers to see if they can make it work again?

When a government tells you to "brace for budget pain" which is entirely unnecessary, a. they are not doing (or even understanding) their job and b. they like inflicting pain.

How is it that giving away free money in the form of a "Basic Income" has become such a cause celebre whereas Henry George's #SingleTax which will do far more to create a just economy and coincidentally leave enough money to fund a "Citizens Dividend" if wanted remains obscure?

Everyone moans about taxes, most of which the "#SingleTax" would end, supercharging the economy, rewarding investment/work, cutting up front cost of living in the form of reduced land rents.

Many still struggle in the meantime to explain where "Basic Income" would be paid from.

Note, I have no ideological problem with using the surplus of the community collection of location rents over what government requires to spend, as a free dividend, but that is a very different beast from a defined "income" that needs to be funded come what may.

What do "Georgists" need to do to get as much traction as "Basic Income"?
